I'm developing a 3 part upload form, where users can upload 3 sets of files
So far, I've got the following viewModel
var FileGroupViewModel = function (id) {
var self = this;
self.id = ko.observable(id);
self.files = ko.observableArray();
self.removeFile = function (item) {
self.files.remove(item);
}
self.fileUpload = function (data, e) {
var file = e.target.files[0];
self.files.push(file);
};
}
var ViewModel = function () {
var self = this;
self.fileGroups = ko.observableArray();
self.getFileGroupById = function (id) {
ko.utils.arrayFilter(self.fileGroups(), function (item) {
return item.id == id;
});
};
self.uploadFiles = function () {
alert('Uploading');
}
}
var viewModel = new ViewModel();
viewModel.fileGroups.push(new FileGroupViewModel(1));
viewModel.fileGroups.push(new FileGroupViewModel(2));
viewModel.fileGroups.push(new FileGroupViewModel(3));
ko.applyBindings(viewModel);
I have 3 'groups' of files a user can upload to.
(I will do the actual upload functionality later)
I'm struggling with how to bind my row to a specific item of the array?
Maybe I shouldn't use an observable array?
<div class="row files" id="files1" data-bind="???">
<h2>Files 1</h2>
<span class="btn btn-default btn-file">
Browse <input data-bind="event: {change: fileUpload}" type="file" />
</span>
<br />
<div class="fileList" data-bind="foreach: files"> <span data-bind="text: name"></span>
Remove
</div>
</div>
The idea is when a user selects files, they appear in a list under the button:
..with a link to remove the file from the upload queue.
I've set up a fiddle here - https://jsfiddle.net/alexjamesbrown/c9fvzjte/
There are few important modifications required to make your code work independently across files 0,1,2
KeyNote
event: { change: function(){fileUpload($data,$element.files[0])}}
here we are passing our selected file i.e filedata using $element in
change event not in usual click event . Filedata will have complete file information .
view:
<div class="row files" id="files1" data-bind="foreach:fileGroups">
<h2>Files 0</h2>
<span class="btn btn-default btn-file">
Browse <input data-bind="event: { change: function() { fileUpload($data,$element.files[0]) } }" type="file" />
</span>
<div class="fileList" data-bind="foreach: files"> <span data-bind="text: name"></span>
Remove
</div>
viewModel:
var SubFunction = function (data) {
var self = this;
self.name = data.name;
self.removeFile = function (item1) {
item1.files.remove(this); //current reference data & item1 has parent reference data
}
}
var FileGroupViewModel = function (id) {
var self = this;
self.id = ko.observable(id);
self.files = ko.observableArray([new SubFunction({
'name': 'Test'
})]);
self.fileUpload = function (item1, item2) {
self.files.push(new SubFunction(item2));
};
}
var ViewModel = function () {
var self = this;
self.fileGroups = ko.observableArray();
self.getFileGroupById = function (id) {
ko.utils.arrayFilter(self.fileGroups(), function (item) {
return item.id == id;
});
};
self.uploadFiles = function () {
alert('Uploading');
}
}
var viewModel = new ViewModel();
viewModel.fileGroups.push(new FileGroupViewModel(1));
ko.applyBindings(viewModel);

I am having trouble populating an observableArray with a value inherited from a datepicker. I have a disabled textbox that displays the value of the datepicker as part of the data collection section. As it is disabled and not being typed in, it is not updating the observableArray.
I have created an example jsfiddle where I have stripped down and localised the problem.
Any help getting the value to appear in the observableArray would be great as I am really struggling to figure this one out!

I think the problem is that your observable date, dateMonthYear, lives in your master view model. The Date property of self.wardstaff is never set.
You could solve this by sharing the observable in your master view model with the one in the wardstaff property:
function oWardStaff(obsDate) {
var self = this;
self.Date = obsDate;
self.Status = ko.observable();
};
/* ... */
self.dateMonthYear = ko.observable();
self.wardstaff = new oWardStaff(self.dateMonthYear);
Now, whenever you pick a new date, it writes it to the observable referenced by both viewmodels.
This line suddenly becomes useful:
function WardStaff(data) {
var self = this;
self.Date = ko.observable(data.Date()); // <-- here
self.Status = ko.observable(data.Status());
};
since Date is now actually set.
Fiddle that I think now works correctly: https://jsfiddle.net/n0t91sra/

I am new to knockout. For my problem, I am trying to make it so that for each project, there is a button and textarea. The textarea will be hidden upon page load. If I click the button, it will show the textarea (toggle). Currently, if I click the button, ALL textareas on the page will show, rather than just the corresponding textarea.
I'm hoping the fix for this isn't too dramatic and involving a complete reworking of my code as by some magic, every other functionality has been working thus far. I added the {attr id: guid} (guid is a unique identifier of a project retrieved from the database) statement in an attempt to establish a unique ID so that the right controls were triggered...although that did not work.
Sorry I do not have a working jfiddle to show the issue... I tried to create one but it does not demonstrate the issue.
JS:
//if a cookie exists, extract the data and bind the page with cookie data
if (getCookie('filterCookie')) {
filterCookie = getCookie('filterCookie');
var cookieArray = filterCookie.split(",");
console.log(cookieArray);
$(function () {
var checkboxes = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < cookieArray.length; i++) {
console.log(i + cookieArray[i]);
checkboxes.push(getCheckboxByValue(cookieArray[i]));
//checkboxes.push(document.querySelectorAll('input[value="' + cookieArray[i] + '"]'));
console.log(checkboxes);
checkboxes[i].checked = true;
}
})
filterCookie = getCookie('filterResultsCookie');
cookieArray = filterCookie.split(",");
filterCookieObj = {};
filterCookieObj.action = "updateProjects";
filterCookieObj.list = cookieArray;
$.ajax("/api/project/", {
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify(filterCookieObj)
}).done(function (response) {
proj = response;
ko.cleanNode(c2[0]);
c2.html(original);
ko.applyBindings(new ProjectViewModel(proj), c2[0]);
});
}
//if the cookie doesn't exist, just bind the page
else {
$.ajax("/api/project/", {
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify({
action: "getProjects"
})
}).done(function (response) {
proj = response;
ko.cleanNode(c2[0]);
c2.html(original);
ko.applyBindings(new ProjectViewModel(proj), c2[0]);
});
}
View Model:
function ProjectViewModel(proj) {
//console.log(proj);
var self = this;
self.projects = ko.observableArray(proj);
self.show = ko.observable(false);
self.toggleTextArea = function () {
self.show(!self.show());
};
};
HTML:
<!-- ko foreach: projects -->
<div id="eachOppyProject" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><a data-bind="attr: { href: '/tools/oppy/' + guid }" style="font-size: 25px;"><span class="link" data-bind=" value: guid, text: name"></span></a></td>

<span> <input type="checkbox" name="oppyDoProjectAgain" style="padding-top:10px; padding-right:20px;">I'm thinking about doing this again. </span>
<br />

<!-- /ko -->
Spencer:
function ProjectViewModel(proj) {
//console.log(proj);
var self = this;
self.projects = ko.observableArray(proj);
self.projects().forEach(function() { //also tried proj.forEach(function())
self.projects().showComments = ko.observable(false);
self.projects().toggleComments = function () {
self.showComments(!self.showComments());
};
})
};
It's weird that
data-bind="visible: show"
doesn't provide any binding error because context of binding inside ko foreach: project is project not the ProjectViewModel.
Anyway, this solution should solve your problem:
function ViewModel() {
var self = this;
var wrappedProjects = proj.map(function(p) {
return new Project(p);
});
self.projects = ko.observableArray(wrappedProjects);
}
function Project(proj) {
var self = proj;
self.show = ko.observable(false);
self.toggleTextArea = function () {
self.show(!self.show());
}
return self;
}
The problem is that the show observable needs to be defined in the projects array. Currently all the textareas are looking at the same observable. This means you'll have to move the function showTextArea into the projects array as well.
Also you may want to consider renaming your function or getting rid of it entirely. Function names which imply they drive a change directly to the view fly in the face of the MVVM pattern. I'd recommend a name like "toggleComments" as it doesn't reference a view control.
EDIT:
As an example:
function ProjectViewModel(proj) {
//console.log(proj);
var self = this;
self.projects = ko.observableArray(proj);
foreach(var project in self.projects()) {
project.showComments = ko.observable(false);
project.toggleComments = function () {
self.showComments(!self.showComments());
};
}
};
There is probably a much cleaner way to implement this in your project I just wanted to demonstrate my meaning without making a ton of changes to the code you provided.
I'm new to Knockout and I'm building an app that's effectively a large-scale calculator. So far I have two instances of knockout running on one page. One instance is working perfectly fine, however the other one is entirely broken and just won't seem to register at all?
Below is my Javascript, fetchYear is the function that works perfectly fine and fetchPopulation is the one that's completely broken. It doesn't seem to register "ageview" from the HTML at all and I can't figure out.
The error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: Unable to process binding "foreach: function
(){return ageView }" Message: ageView is not defined
Thanks in advance.
JS:
var index = {
fetchYear: function () {
Item = function(year){
var self = this;
self.year = ko.observable(year || '');
self.chosenYear = ko.observable('');
self.horizon = ko.computed(function(){
if(self.chosenYear() == '' || self.chosenYear().horizon == undefined)
return [];
return self.chosenYear().horizon;
});
};
YearViewModel = function(yeardata) {
var self = this;
self.yearSelect = yeardata;
self.yearView = ko.observableArray([ new Item() ]);
self.add = function(){
self.yearView.push(new Item("New"));
};
};
ko.applyBindings(new YearViewModel(yearData));
},
fetchPopulation: function () {
popItem = function(age){
var self = this;
self.age = ko.observable(age || '');
self.chosenAge = ko.observable('');
self.population = ko.computed(function(){
if(self.chosenAge() == '' || self.chosenAge().population == undefined)
return [];
return self.chosenAge().population;
});
};
PopulationViewModel = function(populationdata) {
var self = this;
self.ageSelect = populationdata;
self.ageView = ko.observableArray([ new popItem() ]);
self.add = function(){
self.ageView.push(new popItem("New"));
};
};
ko.applyBindings(new PopulationViewModel(populationData));
}
}
index.fetchYear();
index.fetchPopulation();
HTML:
<div class="row" data-bind="foreach: yearView">
<div class="grid_6">
<img src="assets/img/index/calendar.png" width="120" height="120" />
<select class="s-year input-setting" data-bind="options: $parent.yearSelect, optionsText: 'year', value: chosenYear"></select>
<label for="s-year">Start year for the model analysis</label>
</div>
<div class="grid_6">
<img src="assets/img/index/clock.png" width="120" height="120" />
<select class="s-horizon input-setting" data-bind="options: horizon, value: horizon"></select>
<label for="s-horizon">Analysis time horizon</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row" data-bind="foreach: ageView">
<div class="grid_6">

<select class="s-year input-setting" data-bind="options: ageSelect, optionsText: 'age', value: chosenAge"></select>
<label for="s-agegroup">Age group of <br> target population</label>
</div>
<div class="grid_6">
<img src="assets/img/index/clock.png" width="120" height="120" />
<input class="s-population input-setting"></input>
<label for="s-population">Size of your patient <br> population <strong>National</strong> </label>
</div>
</div>
When you do this (in fetchYear):
ko.applyBindings(new YearViewModel(yearData));
You are binding the entire page with the YearViewModel view model. But the YearViewModel doesn't have a property called ageView so you get the error and knockout stops trying to bind anything else.
What you need to do is restrict your bindings to cover only part of the dom by passing the element you want to ko.applyBindings. For example:
<div class="row" id="yearVM" data-bind="foreach: yearView">
//....
<div class="row" id="popVM" data-bind="foreach: ageView">
And then:
ko.applyBindings(new YearViewModel(yearData), document.getElementById("yearVM"));
//...
ko.applyBindings(new PopulationViewModel(populationData), document.getElementById("popVM"));
Now your bindings are restricted just to the part of the DOM that actually displays stuff from that model.
Another alternative is to just have your two view models as part of a parent view model and then you can apply the binding to the entire page. This makes it easier if you need to mix parts from both VMs and they are not conveniently separated in distinct sections of your page. Something like:
var myParentVM = {
yearVM : index.fetchYear(), // note, make this return the VM instead of binding it
popVM : index.fetchPopulation(), // ditto
}
ko.applyBindings(myParentVM);
And then you'd declare your bindings like so:
<div class="row" data-bind="foreach: yearVM.yearView">
The main reason why this is not working is because you call ko.applyBindings() more than once on a page (that is not really forbidden but is a bad practice in my opinion).
If you need to call it twice, you must call it with a container for which region this bind is meant to.
Something like this:
ko.applyBindings(new YearViewModel(yearData), document.getElementById('YourYearViewElementId'));
The error you get is from the first binding, which tries to process the whole page and does not find the 'ageView' in its ViewModel.
Better would be if you build a single ViewModel for a single Page where you have sub-models for sections if needed.
Some pseudo code for such a scenario:
var Section1ViewModel = function() {
var self = this;
self.property1 = ko.observable();
self.myComputed = ko.computed(function () {
// do some fancy stuff
});
self.myFunc = function() {
// do some more fancy stuff
};
}
var Section2ViewModel = function() {
var self = this;
self.property1 = ko.observable();
self.myComputed = ko.computed(function () {
// do some fancy stuff
});
self.myFunc = function() {
// do some more fancy stuff
};
}
var PageViewModel = function() {
var self = this;
self.section1 = ko.observable(new Section1ViewModel());
self.section2 = ko.observable(new Section2ViewModel());
self.myGlobalFunc = function() {
// do some even more fancy stuff
}
}
ko.applyBindings(new PageViewModel());
Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Chris
I'm new to Knockout js and I found an issue in button click event. I have a list where each list item has a button for comment. When I click the button, the invisible comment box should be visible. Following is my HTML code:
<ul class="unstyled list" data-bind="foreach: filteredItems">
<li>
<input type="checkbox" value="true" data-bind =" attr: { id: id }" name="checkbox" class="checkbox">
<label class="checkbox-label" data-bind="text: title, attr: { for: id }"></label>
<button class="pull-right icon" data-bind="click: loadComment, attr: { id: 'btn_' + id }"><img src="../../../../../Content/images/pencil.png" /></button>
<div class="description" data-bind="visible: commentVisible, attr: { id : 'item_' + id}">
<textarea data-bind="value: comment" class="input-block-level" rows="1" placeholder="Comment" name="comment"></textarea>
<div class="action">
<button class="accept" data-bind="click: addComment">
<img src="../../../../../Content/images/accept.png" /></button>
<button class="cancel" data-bind="click: cancel">
<img src="../../../../../Content/images/cancel.png" /></button>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
In my view model, I have mentioned when click the loadComment the comment should be visible
var filteredItems = ko.observableArray([]),
filter = ko.observable(),
items = ko.observableArray([]),
self = this;
self.commentVisible = ko.observable(false);
self.comment = ko.observable();
self.addComment = ko.observable(true);
self.cancel = ko.observable();
self.loadComment = function (item) {
self.commentVisible(true);
}
The problem is when I click the loadComment button, all the comment boxes in each list items getting visible. I want to make only the clicked button's comment box should be appear.
Need some help.
Thanks
You declaration doesnt make much sense to me. commentVisible is not a property of filteredItems so when doing a foreach, it will not be accessible unless you use the $parent binding. FilteredItems itself is a private variable and will not be exposed to the viewmodel and that should cause the binding to fail. I would look at the error console to see if that gives any clues.
Here is what I did to make a somewhat working example (note that this uses parent binding and is probably not what you are going for):
var VM = (function() {
var self = this;
self.filteredItems = ko.observableArray([{id: 1, title: 'Test'}]);
self.filter = ko.observable();
self.items = ko.observableArray([]);
self.commentVisible = ko.observable(false);
self.comment = ko.observable();
self.addComment = ko.observable(true);
self.cancel = function(){
self.commentVisible(false);
};
self.loadComment = function (item) {
self.commentVisible(true);
}
return self;
})();
ko.applyBindings(VM);
http://jsfiddle.net/infiniteloops/z93rN/
Knockout binding contexts: http://knockoutjs.com/documentation/binding-context.html
What you probably want to do it to create a filtered item object with those properties that are referenced within the foreach and populate the filteredItems obeservable array with them.
That might look something like this:
var FilteredItem = function(id,title){
var self = this;
self.id = id;
self.title = title;
self.commentVisible = ko.observable(false);
self.comment = ko.observable();
self.addComment = ko.observable(true);
self.cancel = function(){
self.commentVisible(false);
};
self.loadComment = function (item) {
self.commentVisible(true);
}
}
var VM = (function() {
var self = this;
var item = new FilteredItem(1, 'Test');
self.filteredItems = ko.observableArray([item]);
self.filter = ko.observable();
self.items = ko.observableArray([]);
return self;
})();
ko.applyBindings(VM);

It renders fine intially but when I try to rebind on a jQuery click event and call:
ko.applyBindings(new AppViewModel(ds, ds2, qtyTotal));
It duplicates the data.
If you start off by creating an empty viewModel... which takes no arguments via it's constructor, like so:
function ViewModel()
{
var self = this;
}
var viewModel = new ViewModel();
...Then you can reference it by name to load in your data using ko.mapping, like this:
ko.mapping.fromJS({ "PropertyName": plainJsObject }, {}, viewModel);
What this does is runs the ko.mapping magic on plainJsObject, and stuffs the result into a property (in this case, called PropertyName) on your viewModel object.
The part you would particularly care about is this:
If you want to refresh the data located in the viewModel.PropertyName with fresh data from the server... you just call the exact same method, and it updates that same property on your viewModel. Just call this same thing again, with new values in your plainJsObject:
ko.mapping.fromJS({ "PropertyName": plainJsObject }, {}, viewModel);
Since you have (I assume) already performed your ko.applyBindings() at some point in your code, this line above will immediately update your view.
You should only need to perform the binding once so just keep that outside of any event driven function calls.
ko.applyBindings(new AppViewModel(ds, ds2, qtyTotal));
I think you are over complicating your code in the above example. I would just return set of Product objects which contains properties for description, unit price, quantity etc and then to calculate the total, use a ko computed variable which will update automatically if a user tries to increase/decrease quantity.
function Product(item) {
var self = this;
self.description = ko.observable(item.description);
self.quantity = ko.observable(item.quantity);
self.unitPrice = ko.observable(item.unitPrice);
self.total = ko.computed(function() {
return self.quantity() * self.unitPrice();
});
}
function AppViewModel() {
var self = this;
self.products = ko.observableArray([]);
self.overvallTotal = ko.computed(function() {
var total = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < self.products().length; i++) {
total += self.products()[i].total;
}
return total;
});
self.removeProduct = function(item) { self.products.remove(item) };
// Load initial state from server, convert it to Product instances
$.getJSON("/store/MiniCart.aspx/GetShoppingCartInfo", function(allData) {
var mappedProducts = $.map(allData, function(item) { return new Product(item) });
self.products(mappedProducts);
});
}
ko.applyBindings(new AppViewModel());
You will have to adjust your server side json results to work with this.
